She attended Ruamrudee International School and studied dance at Aree Dance Arts School in Bangkok, Thailand. Her parents decided to allow her to study abroad after the 1997 economic crisis. Subsequently, she graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Walnut Hill Performance Arts School in Boston and later went on to study advanced ballet at the California Institute of the Arts in the USA.

She caught the eye of producer, Tom Yutthalerd, who convinced her to take a role in the romantic comedy movie "E-Tim tai nae " as "Ma Khin". Though a supporting role, her talent and skills were evident. And she was later chosen to play as "Meili" in Bangkok Traffic Love Story, with the famous and reputable Thai actor, Ken Theeradej.
